Data Scientists Thoughts that Make Me Happy

Chris WigginsChief Data Scientist at The New York Times & Associate Professor of Applied Mathematics

at Columbia University

Scientists are human beings too whether they know it or not

The great thing about predictions isthat you can be wrong

The main driver of my ideas has been seeing people

doing it “wrong”

The key is usually to just keep asking “So what ?”

The most exciting thing is realizing that something everybody thinks is

new is actually really damn old

Thanks
